Description: 
Alien is a program that converts between the rpm, dpkg, stampede 
slp, and Slackware tgz file formats. If you want to use a package 
from another distribution than the one you have installed on your 
system, you can use alien to convert it to your preferred package 
format and install it.

I want have this package too.

Thanks,

Comment 4 Dmitrij S. Kryzhevich 2011-12-09 02:48:53 UTC
But nobody wants to review it.

Comment 5 Julian Sikorski 2012-01-29 10:23:29 UTC
Are you still willing to package this piece of software?

Comment 6 Dmitrij S. Kryzhevich 2012-01-30 04:32:15 UTC
Yes. But see dependency chain, all assigned but all stopped.

May be I should reopen them.

Comment 7 Miroslav Vadkerti 2012-04-29 19:56:27 UTC
I would love to see this package included too.

Comment 11 Dmitrij S. Kryzhevich 2012-04-30 11:46:34 UTC
Ok, some moves on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=591332, waiting for waves got here.

Comment 12 Yajo 2013-01-27 15:10:03 UTC

You should ask on blocking reviews.

Comment 14 Sergio Basto 2013-04-23 04:51:39 UTC
Hi, I can review or maintain this package , I don't want sponsor anyone that I don't know , so anyone has power to commit what maintain it ? or anyone review this for me ?

Comment 15 Dmitrij S. Kryzhevich 2013-04-23 05:05:12 UTC
Look into "Depends on" section.
I do not need to be sonsored as I'm already packager.

update to 8.88 and hardcoded 
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/Alien/.packlist into %file section to build the packaged

Comment 17 Sergio Basto 2013-04-26 00:56:28 UTC
fedora-review -b 695233 --mock-config fedora-rawhide-x86_64
and almost none error or problems just 

1) mock --install fails with 
Error: Package: alien-8.88-1.fc20.noarch (/alien-8.88-1.fc20.noarch)
           Requires: debhelper

2) Perl:
[ ]: Package contains the mandatory BuildRequires and Requires:.
     Note: Requires: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_%(eval "`%{__perl} -V:version`"; echo
     $version)) missing?

3) and things just hardcoded by me  
alien.noarch: W: incoherent-version-in-changelog 8.83-1 ['8.88-1.fc20', '8.88-1']
alien.noarch: W: hidden-file-or-dir /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/Alien/.packlist
alien.noarch: W: perl-temp-file /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/Alien/.packlist

I can approve it ... , I'm going to see what happens to debhelper , I could be the new maintainer of debhelper, let me know what is need .

Thanks,

Comment 18 Christopher Meng 2013-05-14 10:21:40 UTC
I think I can post one.

BTW I think yours is not good, as %clean section is still appeared.

Will you build it for EPEL?

Comment 19 Dmitrij S. Kryzhevich 2013-05-15 05:32:40 UTC
1) I will update the package as soon as all blockers (one left) will be resolved.
2) Dependency tree is not fully in the EPEL. So alien can't be in EPEL.

Comment 26 Dmitrij S. Kryzhevich 2013-05-23 11:08:43 UTC
alien-8.88-2.fc20 is built. Waiting debhelper to be built for F18 and F19 wich is waiting dpkg-1.16 to be built for F18 and F19. *sigh*

Comment 27 Sergio Basto 2013-05-25 15:31:43 UTC
You can test dpkg and give it karma if it's OK

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-9094/dpkg-1.16.10-3.fc19 

if we get more 2 positive karmas, will speed up the process.
